The Flow of Time

For my daughters, Emily and Molly

They walked side by side in the distance,

sometimes holding hands.

 

She watched as they shared a secret thought

and smiled as she listened to their laughter.

 

Yet, a touch of sadness crossed her face

as she marveled at how quickly time

moves forward –

 

for her daughters, who were once

her little girls, had transformed into

beautiful young women.

Beautiful children grow and mature so fast
one seems not to fine the time needed to enjoy
all that surrounds them, as they develop secrets and dreams
Love & peace be with you

I have spent the last few months realizing that time is much shorter than I thought... Funny... I still think of my family as a lot of young children, but reality is that my children are on their way out of the nest. Within two months we will only have 9 of our 13 children at home... and four more will be ready to be on their own within another three years... Please, does anyone know how to hold back time?

I can completely relate to this as I witnessed my children grow so quickly; now on into their own lives and I seldom see them any more as they have moved away. Thank you, Dawn. Love and best wishes to you,

I so can relate to this, Dawn, I have three grown children, and now my son has a son...I see time fleeing even faster with my grandson..We all need to really embrace each moment savor it as if it is our last.

To life!

Very maternal feelings that reflect the way a Mother's (or a father's)thoughts seem to flow sometimes when we get those little glimpses that our little ones are becoming grown ups. I have even seen it in my grandchildren as I watched my JLee one day look at me and laugh, four years old and all blonde hair and blue eyes but for a second I glimpsed a young lady of twenty or so...
